FrSky 2.4GHz ACCESS Taranis X9 Lite Manual

Introduction

As a portable radio, the FrSky Taranis X9 Lite is a remarkable fusion of traditional radio design with the innovations

of the latest ACCESS protocol. The X9 Lite inherits its classic form factor from the FrSky Taranis X9D series remote

control, along with completely preserving the comfort of the classic grip design, it also adds a scroll button adding

convenience when navigating the menu further improving the user experience. For beginners, the wired training

function is retained, allowing beginners to improve their skills with the security of an instructors input upon command.

Like the Taranis X-Lite Pro, the new Taranis X9 Lite also uses the latest ACCESS communication protocol, along with

ErskyTX / OpenTX open source operating system, it boasts 24 channels with a faster baud rate and lower latency with a

high-speed module digital interface. Additional ACCESS features like wireless firmware updates and wireless

configurations will be gradually unlocked, providing a more reliable, more secure link between the remote and model.

Making the X9 Lite a fully functioning remote control with tons of extra features.

If you do not turn on your system on and off in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces,

flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpected-

ly turn on and cause a severe injury.

Make sure your transmitter can’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally

moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.

In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times. Flying

behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. must be avoided. Doing so may interrupt the radio

frequency link to the model, resulting in loss of control.

Do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency

transmission and could result in loss of control.

As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of the

transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your flying style

creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation.

Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.

A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing

the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction.

Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and

cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your

transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.

FrSky 2.4GHz ACCESS Taranis X9 Lite Manual

Always pay particular attention to the flying field’s rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators,

the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings,

or communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity.

At the flying field

To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:

1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.

2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.

3. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.

4. Turn on your receiver power.

5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the

problem.

6. Start your engine.

7. Complete a full range check.

8. After flying, bring the throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your motor/

engine.

Where to Fly

We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by

asking your nearest hobby dealer.

The product may be used freely in these countries: Germany, UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands,

Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Norway, France and Iceland.

To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions.

Have regular maintenance performed.

Although your X9 Lite protects the model memories with non-volatile

EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and of a battery, it still should have regular

check-ups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to your FrSky Service Center annually during

your non-flying-season for a complete check-up and service.

Using a fully charged battery (DC 6.0~8.4V). A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash.

When you begin your flying session, reset your transmitter’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention

to the duration of usage. Also, if your model used a separate receiver battery, make sure it is fully charged before

each flying session.

Stop flying long before your batteries become over discharged. Do not rely on your radio’s low battery

warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your

transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight.
